As far as I'm aware Prozac is the most stimulating of the SSRIs.  It also has the longest half life and is supposed to be the easiest to quit taking.  If your problem is just anxiety I would try something else first.  I find Zoloft to be a bit stimulating for me.  Lexapro was very neutral and Paxil was very sedating.  But we are each different so you may like Prozac.
